An intrusion has been detected
Now what? Unless you are restricting yourself to observation only,

includes activities like stopping further damage, investigating what

Incident Response

Incident response is the collective name for all of the activities performed in response to a perceived computer security related incident. It includes both defensive activities such as securing the network, and offensive activities like investigating the incident and possibly reporting details to law enforcement.
